Man! this thread is the most fun I've had on ET in a while :D Thanks for killing the boredom.

DB -- this conversation has inadvertently helped me break through something I've been puzzling over off and on for months. Thanks, you've been a big help. Sorry, the comment # stuff is over -- I don't need it anymore. I can annotate silently.

comment 1) if you are doing what you are doing for entertainment then you take others too lightly, DB. I'm taking your words at face value because that's all that is on the table here. Determining face value with people is not easy. By contrast, the market is just so pure. I am...

OK -- I'm responding to anyone else who is reading this thread. What DB is doing here is turning what I was doing into a game. He thinks I was using a debate tactic to undermine what he was saying. So he is trying to use the same tactic to "win" ... along with other tactics apparently...

comment 1) specualtion. 2) an astute observation. 3) How is it ineffecient? 4) specualtion based on limited data. 5) Fine, your opinion. Discuss it in a different thread if you want to follow this line. 6-7) perfectly fine comments.

comment 1) You made 5 condescending remarks and then justified them by saying that I should be preapred to face consequences. If consequences are condescending remarks then this is a threat. 2) reality check = your opinion on reality. (please read lead post) 3) I am not...

comment 1) an attempt at being condescending. 2) I am misguided in your opinion -- I am being illogical. If a person is being illogical they are to face consequences (it is implied that you hand out consequences). This is basically a threat and justification of your actions. 3) an...

comment 1) an attempt at being condescending. comment 2) an attempt at being condescending. comment 3) an attempt at being condescending. Broken record. No value in this post at all DB.

My 2c... I've probably been in and out of everyone one of those groups. I do my best -- but I'm learning and it is a process that involves trial and error. I question - I respond to responses - I externalize when I'm stuck - and I externalize when I think I'm "done" with something. ET...

Laz -- thanks for sharing the bio... it adds another dimension to co-learning that is useful -- if only as a reminder that everyone is approaching this from a different angle and background. Unfortunately for those who are making an effort (including Jack) -- the ET community tends to...

para 1) hmmm 5 repetitions for 20 trace sets... that's 400% per cycle...errr I mean repetition... and I am in charge of the cycle repeat rate?? let me think.. where I have seen this powerful concept at work before :D. para 2) this particular aspect of things is what I was being astonished...

Jack -- thanks for the reply... I'm going to mull this one over after dinner tonight. First pass has already given me plenty of food for thought -- in particular the "work for money" and work ethic stuff... my father was a high end white collar guy with blue collar roots. So I'm part of a...

Another observation: After months of monitoring daily, I'm finding that my memory has improved noticeably and I generally "notice" a lot more than I used to during off market time. JT

Since the atmosphere in here is just so warm and fuzzy and inviting... I'll venture a question. Jack: I'm experiencing an odd thing. Essentially my performance made a quantum leap in a relatively short time. I have a defense mechanism acting up here that is saying: "don't believe...

Mr Doaks: A fight or flee response gets triggered when emotions are extremely unbalanced. This is the limit of unbalancedness. It can become habitual when a person develops a fear through experience. ...so your mind optimizes the path from balanced to unbalanced through emotional...

Mr Dictionary -- look up paradigm. This is the word I used.

Who is whining now?? sheesh. Some people debate to find the truth... typically those with this attitude can easily identify others on "the team." In Roanoke I see someone here who is just trying to win a game he invented. He is trying to force his "opponents" to his own strengths...

One critique was (IMO) off topic... one was speculation... the third was fine. I opened the third up for additional discussion.

Look. If you want to participate constructively do so. I described what this thread is all about in the lead post and I am going to stand by that.

Now you are getting somewhere Roanoke! Keep this post as a model for future postings :D. What does every kid baseball player get told? Keep your eye on the ball. He is told how to grip the bat. How to stand... the position of the bat. Think of a golf swing. There are lots of...
